I first fell in love with minions in ‘Despicable Me’. I was thrilled when I heard they got their own movie and I couldn’t wait to see it! Personally, I loved the ‘Minions’ movie and I think they’re so adorable especially when I can’t understand what they’re saying. Therefore, I was so excited to make minion nails!I made my first set of minion nails for my friend, Katie. Thank you so much, Katie, for the minions nail art inspiration! I had no idea how I was going make minions nails, but I started by picking the colors and gathering my tools, then it was time to get to work. I soon discovered that these little minions were pretty easy to make; however, they did require several steps but nothing too difficult. That’s when I thought it would make a great minions nail art tutorial. I had so much fun giving each minion different facial expressions. I’m so excited for you to make your very own minions! So, get creative and make your favorite minion…Kevin, Stuart or Bob!
